Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Thank you all for your feedback on my questions about gout and KT. I have printed out each message to give to my friend. Hopefully they will ease her mind a bit. Unfortunately she doesn't have a computer and she doesn't even make her own tea, I do! She can't bring herself to touch the culture which I think is a bit silly, but then, to each his own. I happen to like touching them:o) And considering how beneficial they are to the skin, it makes it even better. I also went to the Earth Clinic Web site and printed out what it said about gout. I know of too many people who suffer from this affliction and am trying to get all of them on the KT but for some it's difficult to come out of their comfort zone (which is doctors) and try it. Thanks again, you are a wonderful group and one of the best things that has happened in my life. I hope I can always put my 2 cents in and help you also. Sincerely, Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 gout is associated with HIV and also with aging & hyperlipidemia and diet. There is a protocol for treatment that I took that worked - colchicine and allopurinol.julesOn Aug 23, 2009, at 4:06:42 PM, "antonio massa di galugnano" <massadigalugnano@...> wrote:From:"antonio massa di galugnano" <massadigalugnano@...>Subject: GoutDate:August 23, 2009 4:06:42 PM EDTDoes anyone have any information how to cure gout? I have been on Prednisone 20 mg, 2 tablets per day but still got it. After completed my second cycle of Prednisone (20 tablets).

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Also- make sure that the Dr aspirates fluid from your actual foot to test for high uric acid. High uric acid present on a blood panel is NOT sufficient. I was misdiagnosed w/ gout as such the dr. refused to draw fluid from my foot! What I really had was osteopenia a triple fractured/swollen foot!!!!!! Unless you know for sure, demand the aspiration test! -MattSent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryFrom: julev Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 09:27:29 -0400antonio massa di galugnano<massadigalugnano@...>; new lipidlist< >Subject: Re: Gout gout is associated with HIV and also with aging & hyperlipidemia and diet.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Griffiths was talking to me about this - ask her specifically if she doesn't see this thread. But I think she was saying that there is a connection with lead, with thyroid and with iodine deficiency.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'll back the cherries too. My dh keeps his gout at bay by eating about 20 cherries twice a week and a few extra as and when he feels a twinge. He drinks beer and eats red meat. We get the cherries when they're at lowest prices or free (about now) and store them in the freezer for the year. I've also heard that cherry juice, capsules etc work well too but we've not tried them.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hello All- I have been seeing more patients lately who have developed gout after surgery. Does anyone know if there is any relationship btw having the surgery and the development of gout? He has been adhering to the diet very closely, but his symptoms appear much worse. Besides monitoring purines in the diet, is there anything else diet wise that I could be recommending? Thank you, LaFleur RD, LD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 : We saw a lot of this too and one of our physicians suggested we draw uric acid levels pre-op and treat with meds if high, this has lessened the amount of gout I see. May want to discuss with you team.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I also have a patient who has developed Gout after surgery. I am having him follow a low-purine diet, but it is not helping. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Gout can occur before or after WLS due to the low-carb nature of the diet. I don't have my notes in front of me, but from what I recall, the body can start forming ketones which compete with uric acid for reabsorption and causes the uric acid to build up. We learned about this in the Training in Adult Weight Management course so if anyone who attended has their notes and can elaborate, feel free to do so. So depending on their stage, increasing the carb intake could help. Otherwise for protein foods, dairy is low in purines.
